Title: Pumpless top-up water heating tank
Inventor: PETER ARMSTRONG
IPC: F24H15/32
Filed: 2021-08-19
Abstract: A water heating tank 1 has a cold water inlet 29 and a hot water outlet 31. A heating can 11 in a lower portion of the tank encloses at least part of a heater 9 (e.g. electrical heating element 23). A chimney 17 extends from a top of the can to an upper portion of the tank and a chimney valve 33 between the can and the chimney controls water flow therebetween, ideally using a wax motor 35. The chimney valve is configured to prevent water flowing from the can into the chimney when a temperature of water in the can exceeds a first threshold temperature, e.g. 62°C. This prevents water being delivered from the can to the upper portion of the tank that is too hot for safe use. The chimney valve may also prevent water from flowing from the can into the chimney when the temperature of water in the can is less than or equal to a second threshold temperature, e.g. 50°C. A water heating tank having a throttle (75, figure 4) and a water heating tank having a heating element power cut-off controller are also claimed.
